Retro, right?
I will first state what I usually do with a first post of the season. I am going to try to get all my picks in this thread or at least tweet them out when I am 'en route' or working. Either way, those posted here or tweeted will count for my 'internet' record.
As I have mostly done in the past few years I will focus on a few areas...
-A certain group of teams I have studied pretty well
-Team Totals
-Halftimes
-Situational Plays
It keeps simple for me and for 3 of last 4 years has led to great falls for myself. Hopefully this will be another one.
This should be a great season in my opinion. We have a new system and perhaps some parity(to be determined, obviously). I am, honestly, most looking forward to the Pac-12 this season. This should be one of the better conferences in some time. There are the usual suspects as well. Locally, I am excited for our defense who will have to carry us early imho. Around the B1G, I expect Sparty to win this side of division. The schedule is just set up(again) for them. We'll see how much the young Buckeye QB has matured by November 8th.
As an aside, wrt to the forum. Lets all have a great season and help each other. No need for drama or INGAME fighting. Lets all help each other. There will be great info each week. Welcome to the new members and also to some old friends back around again.
I have one play in so far. In 'tru-esque fashion...
Washington -15.5 -110 2 units
I understand this line is no longer available. I played this at 4:58 am, August 24th. I honestly have not had the time since to start a thread.
I wanted under 17, that was my goal and why I played it when I could(I say when I could because I don't bet till game-week to start year anymore---too many injuries and suspensions).
I think they win by 20-24 points, so even with the hook it isn't too bad in my opinion.
I'll be back tomorrow with more perhaps. Lets get feet wet this week then the next 3 weeks is the time to make a big push then get more selective in conference season.
